Bryan also wants free wool pull over the peoples' eyes. to There is no more in a cratic promise than there, last year's bird's nest. Demo is in a Isn't it a delightful sight to see Populists slobbering all over them selves yelling for Democracy? ,Yes, the party was for free silver three years ago. Stands right where it did then, of course. The Yellow Jackietr prefers the gold standard ..under protection to free silver with free trade! .if If tKe.Democmistare successful this ?year the. country will soon have a plenty of Bryan and Bonds. They told us before that it was the 4 Irobberitariff ' ' that wras hurt ing us. Well,i they fixed it. -Now it's gold-bugiam that's playing the devil. They'lLfix tlmt, too. See. -It's the same old Democratic party dressed up in a suit of Pop ulist clothes. Beware! Gee-whiz. But Would 'nt things have happened if Democracy had been this hot for silver only three years ago? So the Fops are going to run with-the, Dems to keep the Dems frorn breaking the Populist plat form all to smash. The Dems' don't care a conti nental more for free silver now than they did when they helped GrWer Cleveland repeal the Sher man law in 1893. They just want tomfool the" people again. "By their fruits ye shall know them" and that is as much as to Bay that, the meiuwho - stole .the ropuust piatiorm at unicago wi continue to do business at the same old stand. Over $125, 000, 000 of the a mount Uncle Sam has realized from bond sales 'has been appro priated, though contrary to the spirit and letter of the statutes, to the payment of routine obligati ons, all of which should have been provided for by making of ade quate revenue tariff bills. John O. Green of Indiana thinks that a Populist going to the Democratic party is like a christian leaving a church where all are gbod christians to join an other Where only half the menbers are christians and the other half blatant infidels. - Talk about Democracy being "in dead! earnest" for silver! Never was a bigger humbug started- since God made the earth. All over the South" Democratic Congressmen, wh6" helped the old fat f rand to repeal the .silver pur chase law in 1893, have been re nominated for Congresss by the so-called "silver Democrats" of their respective districts. ' Why XlcSinley it a Protectionist, First Because having tii Free-Trade or a Free Trade Tariff, four times since 1788, it (Free Trade) has never- failed to cause excessive imports and decreased exports, heavy loss of.specie,- sus pension of manufactories, low wages-and enforced idleness of our laborers, general inability to pay our.debts, wide-spread bankrupt cies, universal distress and finan cial ruin. Second Because having tried Protection five times since 17SS, it has never once failed to cause increasing demand for labor, high wages for our workmen , and lower prices for their family and house hold necessities, general and grow ing agricultural prosperity, varied and multiplied industries,, strong iUt -of our educational and benevolent instutions, and an increase of national wealth unpre cedented in the history of any other nation. Third Because the foregoing results in each case having 'been uniform, unfailing and invariable, I am compelled to believe that the said evil results are inherant in the Free-Trade system, and that the said good results are no less inherent-in the Protection system. Fourth Because, these things being so, I must prefer that sys tem that brings universal prosper ity, rather than the one that cau ses general and unavoidable ad versity. William McKinley. ed . A "middle of the road" Popu list, says the Wilkesboro Chron icle, means a McKinley gold-bug . Now, the Chronicle need not be surprised to find just lots of these "crazy Pops" right in the "middle of the road" for , the biggest fool out of the asylum knows the coun try would be safer in the hands of McKinley gold-bugs than it would in the hands of Democratic humbugs. r
